Malala was only 14 when she was shot in 2012. She was transported abroad for medical treatment and hasn't been back since.

Many of the details of her trip are being kept under wraps for security reasons. But an unnamed family member told NBC she won't visit the Swat Valley, which is where the shooting took place.
